U+615F "慟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
慟
U+615F "慟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that traditionally conveys deep, intense grief or sorrow, often associated with mourning or lamentation. In modern usage, it appears in compound words like "慟哭" (tòngkū), meaning to wail or cry bitterly, and is rooted in classical literature and Confucian philosophy to express profound emotional pain, particularly from loss. The character combines the radical "忄" (heart, mind) on the left with the phonetic component "動" (dòng, meaning movement or action), visually linking emotional disturbance to the heart. Its pronunciation in Mandarin is tòng (fourth tone), and it is also used in Japanese (as dō, rarely in modern contexts) and Korean (as tong).
